THE bill prohibiting the opening of
barber shops on Sunday has been
signed by the Governor. This law
will most likely enliven the razor
trade, as all Sunday morning shavers
will have to perform the operation
themselves. The BARRIERS have been
trying to get this bill through for
several years, and they will be quite
as anxious to get it repealed two
years hence. 1t will materially lessen
the receipts of the barber shop, for if
a man is compelled TO do his own
shaving on Sunday, he will be very
likely to do it on other occasions.

ANOTHER Sunday paper, called the
Sunday News, has been started in
Nashville, and tomorrow's issue will
make its fourth number. 1t is more
than probable that the first summer
moon will look calmly and serenely
down on its grave. All of Nashville's
Sunday papers have died young. The
National Review started with Sun
day as its publication day, but soon
changed to Saturday. Even Little
ton couldn't stand such meanness.

to defeat the passage of the appropria-
tion bills and other necessary legisla-
ton, and thus try to force the calling
ofan extra session, as they did two
years ago. Under the ruling of the
Speaker above referred to, the mi
nority partially controls the majority,
and while the minority cannot effect
any legislation, they can very effectu-
ally prevent any they may not choose
to favor. There should be some
means of forcing the fact upon our
Republican representatives that they
are servants of the people, and not
dictators.
THERE is a great deal of uncertain
ty and suspense over the probable re-
suits of the interstate commerce bill.
Nearly all of the railroads have given
notice that all special rates will be
withdrawn on the first of April, at
which time the bill goes into effect.
That it will check shipments for a
month or two at least, and Temporal
rily suspend the movement of a great
deal of business, seems to be generally
conceded. AS it applies to passen-
ger traffic as well as freight, no eX-
coursion rates will be given by the
railroads until some practical demon
strations is had of the operations OF
the law. This being the case it may
materially lessen the number of visit
ors to many watering places during
the coming summer. If by the alb.
clifton of all excursion rates it will
enable the roads to reduce their regu.
lar passenger fares all round, which
looks quite reasonable, it may prove
quite beneficial to the general public
in this respect. If the railroads in
this State would reduce their passen
ger fare from three cents to two cent.
per mile, it would largely increase

FIRE BY LIGHTNING.-LaSt Saturday
afternoon, about five O'Clock, during q
thunderstorm here, bolt of lightning
struck Elijah Hunts barn, in the north
eastern part of the city. There were
five horses in the barn at the time.
Four of them were standing in row,
side by side, and the two middle horses
were killed. The building seemed to
take fire in every part at once, suggest
ing that the bolt or ball of electricity
may have burst after entering the south
end. Elijah Hunt was at home at the
tins; and, his wife and father, discov-
ering the fire Immediately after the
crash, he ran to the barn and got out
three of the horses that were unhurt.
The two horses that were struck died
while he was untying the others. There
were consumed with the barn, besides
the team, a pair of hobs, two,tons of hay,
sand tools and sieve, and a number of
minor articles. The building was in
sured in the Hartford company for 800,
and the sum was paid Immediately by
Mr.. Arthur, their agent here. Mr.. Sam
Greene started subscription paper, the
same evening, and succeeded in raising
something over eighty dollars as q do
nation to our unfortunate townsman
The barn and other property destroyed
cannot be replaced for less than $500

A FIRE CosIpANY.-The burning of
Elijah Hunts barn Saturday evening
called the attention of the people to
the fact that Lancaster has no protec-
ton whatever against fire and brought
about the circulation of paper by DIR.
|. Il. Crane for signatures with the fol-
lowing healing: 1--WE, the undersigned,
hereby pledge ourselves to join in the
organization of fire company, provided
the city furnishes the proper machinery
for extinguishing and preventing the
spread of fires; and further, we hereby
petition His Honor the Mayor to call
at an early date meeting to perfect
such an organization" Nearly fifty
names were signed to the paper. The
past experience of fire companies in
Lancaster should not be allowed to
weigh against the present effort to
organize, as the necessity for protection
is too apparent to admit of contrary
argument.

KILLING AT ARTHUR.
Special to TIE HERALD.


PLATTEvILLE, June 20.--Last Sat-
urday afternoon during the absence of
himself and family, the dwelling of John
G. Lambert of Arthur, this county,
was burglarized. After the thief had
secured watch, a shirt and about $3.50
in money, and was about to examine the
contents of trunk, man who hap
pened to be asleep in the house at the
time, was aroused by the wind slam
ming door. He called out "What are
you doing thereP" whereupon the thief
made off. The alarm was given, and as
soon as possible officers started in pur-
suit. The burglar was captured near
Henry Oettiker's place in the town
of Harrison, and taken back
to Arthur, where an examination was
held before Justice Stehl and the pris-
oner, who called himself John Laughlin
and claimed to come from Chicago, was
held to answer to the charge Of bur
glary. As it was late in the evening and
storm prevailing when the examina-
ton ended, it was decided not to at
tempt to commit the prisoner to Jail till
morning. Accordingly he was placed
in charge of constable Samuel G. Kirk
patrick, with John C.Lambert as assist
ant guard. The prisoner being very
uncleanly and covered with yermin was
not taken to house but placed in box
stall in Lambert's barn on some hay.
with his arms pinioned.
About two o'clock in the
morning the guards discovered that
the prisoner had loosened his arms and
was endeavering to escape. The con-
stable ordered him to desist and to sub
NIT to be bound, which he refused to
do, and it is said that Lambert, on
going in to enforce his order, was roughly
handled, The constable aimed the shot
gun with which he was armed at the
prisoners head, and ordered him to hold
up his hands. He still refused and
kirkpatrick fired, killing him instantly.
kirkpatrick Immediately gave him
self up, and at the inquest before JUS
tice Stehl was held to appear at the
next term of the circuit court.
